Basic Coding Guidelines

The following Guide describes the basic requirements for creating CDO source code. Not all of these guidlines can be coverred by the auto-format for Java source Code (Strg+Shift+F). If you like to write an extension that allows comfortably adjusting the code regarding these Guidelines you are welcome.

General Requirements

Legacy Mode

In the CDO Suite the Legacy Mode is always activated. This means that you do not need set this mode for every test case. But this also means that you need to deactivate it if you want to execute tests without legacy.

Please always use CDOUti.getCDObject and CDOUtil.getEObject() to get either the CDOObject or the expected interal instance, no matter whethter you are using legay or not. The will make the test compatible to all legacy test cases and avoids ugly ClassCastExceptions.
